“Violence is never the answer to solve ANY relationship problems.”Massachusetts 8th Grader

The Katie Brown Educational Program (KBEP) was founded in 2001 in response to the brutal murder of Katherine “Katie” Brown of Barrington, Rhode Island. Katie was only 20 years old when she was killed by the young man she had dated on and off since high school.

In order to memorialize Katie’s life and honor everyone who has been impacted by relationship violence, we at the KBEP have made it our mission to educate people about this critical issue.
